Rha Goddess' style is considered so unique that it warrants its own one-word description. "Floetry", as defined by Rha Goddess herself, is a blending of rhythm, poetry, hip-hop and politics. The actual term has been spread throughout the hip-hop community. Poets and political activists alike such as Abiyahor Floetry Spadesare among the many who claim to have been inspired by Rha Goddess and her "Floetry". It is presumed that the popular urban R&B group Floetry has also been inspired by Rha Goddess.
Rha Goddess' first album Soulah Vibe was released through her independent label "Divine Dime". Soulah Vibe is considered to be a meticulously produced effort by the Goddess. On the album, Rha uses her emotionally channeled voice to create a rich natural presence. The track "Elements" figuratively describes a connection between the four elements of nature and the four elements of hip-hop. The title track "Soulah Vibe" acts a "Spiritual Manifesto". The tracks "Can't Touch This" and "My Pen (Remix)" have a more funky and upbeat ambiance to them.
